I'm raging so hard right now, I just lost two games in a row because of it. Tanks in my nat, better build some lings. What, why isn't anything building? Oh crap units are dying. Move them, where are my lings?? Oh, my stupid hatches are mis hotkeyed, lets take a jaunt around the map and rekey them, I got nothing better to do, they each have half a dozen larvae a piece and have had it for who knows how long now and boy I wish those larvae were lings right now.
You know the hotkey tabs at the bottom, when you have any units select and you right click them, those units get hotkeyed to whichever tab you hit.
Is there any possible way to disabled these fucking things, oh my fucking god I'm so sick of losing because of them. At least two times per game I will rehotkey drones to my hatcheries hotkey, or hatcheries to my queens hotkey or my hatcheries to my roach hotkey. It is incessent trouble from beta all the way until now, and I've looked everywhere for some way of disabling these god forsaken pieces of trash.
At this point I'm willing to download some bizarro patch or learn windows programming or something bizarre and risk a hacking ban for modding my game. I just don't give a shit. I don't know why I can't not hit them EVERY SINGLE GAME. I never even notice when I do it until I need that hotkey for something.
I cannot possibly be the only person who has this problem.
Edit: I just had a fucking golden idea. I should have mentioned, my haches are 5, my queens are 4. If I'm in top position, I click the center of my screen all game I risk hitting either hatch or queens. If I change my hotkeys so that 5 is 9, 4 is 8, etc and swap them, then the tab for my hatches will be 9, and they will not be in the center of my hud. Maybe, just maybe I won't click them every single game.

Why're you clicking so close to the bottom of visible map area?
|
Posting here simply so I can keep track of this thread. I also would like to know.
|
This happens to everyone including pros and there is not yet a way to disable it 
|
I believe patch 1.3 (coming tomorrow) will include a way to disable that mess.
|
I read through the patch notes but I couldn't find it. The closest I can find it:
o The main game UI can now be hidden/shown via hotkey.
I figure that is for observers, so they can just get rid of stuff they don't care about it. Am I missing something?

It sounds strange, but I've also lost games to shit like this. It's a really strange dongle probably designed to make WoW players feel at home.

This change I've made seems to have helped a lot. I switched 1,2,3 with 890, and 456 with 123, and put 123 in 890. Or something like that, use your imagination. I made sure 1 and 2 (unit hotkeys) were as far to the right as possible, and my 4 and 5 (queens and queens) are to the left as far as possible.
So far after 5 games I have only done it once, and it ended up being a unit hotkey, so I noticed it the moment it happened and fixed it easily.

o A new menu option is available in the Gameplay page to change the behavior of Control Group Buttons. These can now be set to ignore mouse clicks or be hidden completely.
BAM!

I don't think it has anything to do with WoW. It's just to make it easier for new players to understand what's happening with their hotkeys. It also makes it really easy to identify the hotkeys of pro players, which is useful.

Dang, ok well I'm glad I got one day less of this problem at least. I really, really wish I'd thought of it whenever hotkeys were introduced. Thanks guys.
|
I never had this problem but glad that Blizzard listened to players who complained about it!
